Recent decades have seen a sharp rise in global disaster frequency due partly to climate change, with hydrometeorological events significantly impacting México. In Michoacán's Pacific coastal region, these events highlight critical issues tied to anthropogenic factors. This study's main objective was to assess social vulnerability to extreme hydrometeorological events and examine neocolonialism and its geospatial distribution, while challenging traditional spatial planning to improve disaster response and community adaptation. A mixed-methods approach combined the analysis of socioeconomic and demographic indicators in a Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) with an assesment of neocolonial influence through a classification matrix of economic activities. The results reveal significant contrasts in the municipalities’ SVIs and support the regional prevalence of neocolonialism, with detailed maps for contextually informed strategies. By integrating overlooked factors, the study identified infrastructure disparities and heightened vulnerabilities, offering a tool for policymakers and disaster management agencies to tailor interventions and allocate resources effectively
